Description does not do it justice. Sunset history tour with so much local charm - Description does not do it justice! It’s a gorgeous sunset tour where the guide knew all the best spots to admire Alhambra in three different shades as the sun progressively set. Our guide was also an excellent photographer so we all walked away with the best pics. All of these spots also had someone playing the guitar, dancing flamenco etc which didn’t feel staged but rather incredibly charming. The guide also gave us just the right amount of information about the history and ethnic stories of the area and gave us a lot of local recommendations. It was excellent

Pleasant evening experience - The tour was most enjoyable. The guide Francesco obviously loved his job as he was enthusiastic and interesting.
There was a lot of steep paths going up which were a little slippy going down- trip not suitable for anyone who has any difficulty walking.
Would recommend this tour.

nice - this is the place that history meet the actual time ;
walking throw the narrow streets in this neighborhood ; the street floors are paved with old stones in the ancient style. don't miss the oldest houses while walking ;
after nice walking you'll get to the best alhambra view (as president clinton say - the best view ever).
on the left hand the famous mosque that build by qatar government ;

Unmissable walking tour - Without a doubt, walking through these neighborhoods is one of the most beautiful things to do in Granada. A city where many cultures converge and each one contributes its imprint. These are the oldest and most typical neighborhoods of the city where one is surprised at every step, always having beautiful views of the Alhambra! If you do it on a walking tour you will get much more out of it!

Guide was a little too soft spoken but enjoyable - Views from several spots were good and guide was knowledgeable. Was a little hard to hear in crowded areas.

One big scam. Avoid this company! - SCAM PARTY! NEVER BOOK A TOUR HERE! For real: they scam you by sending a meetingpoint address of a non excisting store near the Cathedral of Granada for the sightseeing tour. They never pick up the phone or answer any whatsapp messages. They basically steal your money by ghosting you after paying! A very very rude and unprofessional company that I hope will get a lot of karma. I eventually got my money back through the help of Get your Guide.

Don’t book with them. Faulty instructions for meeting. Never replied to my email. - They post a location for meeting that is CLOSED. Ask you to download and install an app, for a simple tour. I PAID and showed up where instructed, 15 minutes prior to where tour starts. Only to find out that they called me 10 minutes before the time I was supposed to show up at the CLOSED location. I don’t have an international calling plan, was in transit to follow their instructions, so did not receive the message until much later when WiFi available. Why not notify 24 hours in advance? I prepaid this tour, and never received it due to their chaos. Emailed them with NO REPLY.
